Kapolei Local Emergency Action Network

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Kapolei Local Emergency Action Network (KLEAN) conducted a tabletop exercise (TTX) on March 16, 2018. This report is designed to help KLEAN analyze the exercise results based on core capabilities 1and exercise objectives. The analysis for each exercise objective is divided into Strengths, Areas for Improvement, and Recommendations. Suggested actions in this report are recommendations and KLEAN may not be able to accomplish the recommendations based on available resources. In some cases, alternative solutions identified by KLEAN may be more efficient and/or effective.

This TTX was designed to allow players to assess policies and procedures as they pertain to the KLEAN organizations. Specifically, the exercise allowed players to test the following core capabilities:

• Capability: Planning • Capability: Situational Awareness • Capability: Operational Coordination

The TTX began with opening remarks delivered by Hawaii State Senator Mike Gabbard, Hawaii State Representative Andria Tupola, and Honolulu City Councilmember Kymberly Pine. The three political leaders expressed gratitude for KLEAN’s efforts and urged members to continue preparedness planning efforts in the community. Additionally, Senator Gabbard urged support for House Bill 26932 that clarifies the provision of public sheltering during emergencies.

IV FOUO

Kapolei Local Emergency Action Network

• Strength 2.1: There are a number of key sources of emergency management information available to organizations.3

• Strength 2.2: Organizations participating in KLEAN have had the opportunity to share contact information and coordinate directly with emergency response partners and stakeholders.

• Strength 3.1: Participants discussed each other’s capabilities and limitations to support response and recovery efforts in the Kapolei community.

• Strength 3.2: Participants discussed applicable plans, standard operating procedures, coordination requirements, and protocols from local, state, Federal, private sector, and non-governmental organizations.

• Strength 3.3: Organizations are committed to supporting preparedness, response, and recovery efforts in the Kapolei community.

Throughout the exercise, some areas of improvement were identified pertaining to each objective. The areas for improvement were:

• Area for Improvement 1.1: Need to conduct additional evacuation planning and coordination in the Kapolei area.

• Area for Improvement 1.2: Need to update the ERG and raise awareness among stakeholders of the information within the ERG.

• Area for Improvement 2.1: Need to conduct additional planning and coordination on the use of social media in the Kapolei area to support disaster preparedness, response and recover efforts.

• Area for Improvement 2.2: Need to further develop information sharing protocols and procedures for organizations within the Kapolei community.

• Area for Improvement 3.1: Organizations in the Kapolei community need additional information on procedures that will be used to prioritize critical resources after a disaster, including fuel, temporary power, restoration of the electrical grid, provision of food/potable water, and debris clearance/removal to assist in their internal planning efforts.

Overall, KLEAN organizations performed successfully. Despite the improvement recommendations mentioned, the exercise achieved its objectives. KLEAN organizations demonstrated the capability to communicate and coordinate activities and appropriately identified areas for improvement.

EXERCISE OVERVIEW

KLEAN TTX

16 March, 2018

This exercise was a Table Top Exercise (TTX) that took place on16 March 2018 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Ho‘okele Elementary School.

Preparedness/Response/Recovery

Planning Situational Assessment Operational Coordination

Objective 1: Identify gaps in processes and procedures in the Emergency Resource Guide (ERG). Objective 2: Identify procedures required for KLEAN members to gather decision-relevant information regarding the nature and extent of the hazard, any cascading effects, and the status of the response. Objective 3: Discuss best practices for coordinating response and recovery efforts. Category 4 Hurricane with HazMat Release

A Category 4 hurricane approached Hawaii from the southeast and moved northward at approximately 10 mph. The hurricane produced sustained winds of 130 mph and gusts up to 160 mph with a wind radius of 219 miles. A storm surge of 10 to 15 feet impacted Oahu, while a rainfall rate of 1 to 2 inches per hour contributed significantly to the inundation and flooding damage. Discussions covered both pre- and post-impact issues.

Kapolei Local Emergency Action Network (KLEAN)

A total of 41 participants from 28 organizations took part in the KLEAN 2018 TTX. See Appendix B for a list of participating organizations.

3 Kapolei Local Emergency Action Network Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

Objective 1: Identify gaps in processes and procedures in the Emergency Resource Guide (ERG).

Core Capability: Planning

Strengths

The partial capability level can be attributed to the following strengths:

Strength 1.1: A total of 96% of participants stated that as a result of the exercise they were more familiar with planning requirements for disasters.

Strength 1.2: Organizations identified within the KLEAN Emergency Resources Guide (ERG) maintain individual response and recovery plans and procedures.

Areas for Improvement

The following areas require improvement to achieve the full capability level:

Area for Improvement 1.1: Need to conduct additional evacuation planning and coordination in the Kapolei area.

Analysis: As noted in the KLEAN ERG, “evacuation of the Campbell Industrial Park and the surrounding area may be necessary in the event of a natural emergency, severe fire, or hazardous material release.”4

Participants discussed the fact that there are limited access routes to and from Campbell Industrial Park (CIP)(see Map 2-1 Primary Evacuation Routes), and that these routes could be blocked fairly easily. For example, they stated that in March 2017, a minor incident caused a downed

power pole to block Kalaeola Blvd and access was completed halted for approximately eight hours.

Two alternative emergency routes exist as noted in the KLEAN ERG (page 2-5), “the gate on the east end of Malakole Street and the unimproved road on the west end of Malakole leading to Ko’Olina resort.” However, both routes traverse private property and access is normally prevented by locked gates (Honolulu Fire Department Station 40 has keys for both gates). Furthermore, participants were not aware of the weight rating of the Malakole Street bridge to support heavy equipment.

Recommendations

1.1.1 Determine the weight rating of the Malakole Street bridge and include that information in the KLEAN ERG.

1.1.2 Verify whether there is a need for a signed Memorandum of Understanding for accessing the alternative access routes.

1.1.3 Conduct an emergency evacuation drill for CIP that requires the use of the alternate routes to validate access procedures.

Area for Improvement 1.2: Need to update the ERG and raise awareness among stakeholders of the information within the ERG.

Analysis: The KLEAN ERG which was published in 2012 provides businesses and individuals with:

• Basic guidance for emergency preparedness and response • General guidance for hazards that could result in an emergency • An overview of emergency response organizations • Basic precautions and steps to prevent, prepare for, and deal with an emergency

5 Kapolei Local Emergency Action Network Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

• Checklists on topics such as Hurricanes, Tsunamis, Earthquakes, fires, as well as on hazardous materials incidents.

KLEAN recently redesigned its website5, and posted many of the documents from the ERG in an easy to access format on the site. For example, the checklists are listed by topic area, and include actions to take before, during and after a disaster.

During the exercise, participants were asked if they were familiar with the ERG, and 46% stated that they were not very familiar with the ERG, while 36% were not aware of the ERG before the exercise. Although this was a small sample size, it highlights the need to raise awareness of the information contained within the ERG. For example, one of the participants recommended that the ERG include a list of pre- designated shelters. This information is already in the ERG in Table 2-1: Emergency Shelters for CIP and Surrounding Area (pp. 2-6 and 2-7)6. In addition, participants discussed the need for alternate communications information, especially if a facility isn’t staffed 24/7, however the majoring of organizations have hours of operation, emergency contact numbers, as well as alternate contact information available in the ERG, VOL II.7 [NOTE: Since the ERG was published in 2012 this information needs to be validated]. And, participants discussed the need for awareness of supplies and resources available within the Kapolei area, which are also available in the ERG, VOL II.8

6 Kapolei Local Emergency Action Network Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

Participants did identify some additional information that could be added to the ERG or other plans as appropriate. For example, while the ERG does state that “telephone communications may be disrupted during an emergency. Landlines may be downed by high winds and cellular phone call volumes may exceed local capacity” in a section on emergency communications (pp. 3-15 and 3-16), there is no mention of satellite communications procedures, or the use of social media. In fact, social media is not addressed anywhere in the ERG (see discussion below under Objective 2 for additional analysis/recommendations focused on social media).

Another area that is not addressed in the ERG is guidance on debris management. Participants discussed the additional challenge created after a catastrophic hurricane if storm debris wasn’t sorted where feasible. Participants reviewed guidance provided in Texas after Hurricane Harvey (see graphic)9. See additional guidance provided by FEMA.10

Example of Guidance provided after Hurricane Harvey

Recommendations 1.2.1 Provide outreach

materials and opportunities for organizations in Kapolei to become more familiar with the contents of the KLEAN ERG and website.

1.2.2 Revise sections of the ERG to provide additional guidance on alternate communications procedures to include the use of satellite phones and social media; as well as on other topics raised during the TTX such as debris clearance/management.

1.2.3 Review information within the ERG to ensure it is updated where appropriate, such as contact information, organizations within the community, etc.

7 Kapolei Local Emergency Action Network Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

Objective 2: Identify procedures required for KLEAN members to gather decision-relevant information regarding the nature and extent of the hazard, any cascading effects, and the status of the response.

Core Capability: Situational Assessment

Strengths

The partial capability level can be attributed to the following strengths:

Strength 2.1: There are a number of key sources of emergency management information available to organizations.11

Strength 2.2: Organizations participating in KLEAN have had the opportunity to share contact information and coordinate directly with emergency response partners and stakeholders.

Areas for Improvement

John Bravender from NOAA describes new hurricane forecasting products.

The following areas require improvement to achieve the full capability level:

Area for Improvement 2.1: Need to conduct additional planning and coordination on the use of social media in the Kapolei area to support disaster preparedness, response and recover efforts.

Analysis: Exercise participants discussed the use of social media during disasters. They were informed of reports that “80% of Americans expect emergency response agencies to monitor and respond to social media platforms, and 1/3 expect help to show up within 60 minutes of a posting (see Social Media Info Graphics in Appendix E).”12 However, response partners including organizations such as DEM, HPD and HFD, stated that while they do have a small number of staff that monitor social media, it is not monitored 24/7. Participants were also informed that in recent disasters some organizations have relied on

the use of volunteers from the community to monitor and sift through social media for operationally relevant information as part of a Virtual Operations Support Team (VOST), however this practice is currently not included in existing state and local plans and procedures in Hawaii.

Recommendations

2.1.1 Organizations should become familiar with relevant social media sites from response agencies, and leverage preparedness, response and recovery information shared on those platforms with their internal and external stakeholders.

2.1.2 Support outreach efforts to raise awareness of the limitations of social media monitoring by response organizations.

2.1.3 Organizations should advocate for additional resources to support the operational use of social media by response organizations to include the use of options such as volunteers from a VOST. 13

Area for Improvement 2.2: Need to further develop information sharing protocols and procedures for organizations within the Kapolei community.

Analysis: During the TTX, participants reviewed the different phases identified within the Hawaii Catastrophic Hurricane Plan14, and discussed concepts such as the Essential Elements of Information (EEI) that would need to be collected before and after a major disaster:

“Essential elements of information (EEIs) are comprehensive lists of information requirements that provide context, inform decision-making, contribute to analysis, and populate the information collection schedule.”15 For example, Table 2-8 from that plan

13 For details on operationalizing the use of social media see https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/SMWG_From-Concept-to-Reality-Operationalizing-Social- Media-508.pdf 14 https://dod.hawaii.gov/hiema/files/2016/03/2015Hawaii_Cat_Plan.pdf 15 Ibid, p. 6

contains a list of information relevant to a catastrophic hurricane for collection and dissemination to stakeholders as appropriate on topics such as hazards, response related information, population impacts, infrastructure impacts, and critical service impacts. Participants discussed the need for better coordination of EEI such as damage assessment information in the Kapolei community, and to confirm procedures to gather and share information with stakeholders on topics such as recovery prioritization efforts. Participants were informed of the creation of a Business Resource Center (BRC)16 by the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency (HI-EMA) to improve coordination and communication with the private sector before, during and after a disaster; however, the majority of participants were not familiar with the BRC concept.

Recommendations

2.2.1 Include relevant EEI in future updates to the BRC to include what information would be shared with the private sector, as well as what information would need to be provided to local, state and federal agencies to assist in response and recovery activities.

2.2.2 KLEAN should request a briefing on the BRC concept from HI-EMA to KLEAN organizations at a future meeting.

Objective 3: Discuss best practices for coordinating response and recovery efforts.

Core Capability: Operational Coordination

Strengths

The partial capability level can be attributed to the following strengths:

Strength 3.1: Participants discussed each other’s capabilities and limitations to support response and recovery efforts in the Kapolei community.

Strength 3.2: Participants discussed applicable plans, standard operating procedures, coordination requirements, and protocols from local, state, Federal, private sector, and non- governmental organizations.

Strength 3.3: Organizations are committed to supporting preparedness, response, and recovery efforts in the Kapolei community.

Areas for Improvement

The following areas require improvement to achieve the full capability level:

Area for Improvement 3.1: Organizations in the Kapolei community need additional information on procedures that will be used to prioritize critical resources after a disaster, including fuel, temporary power, restoration of the electrical grid, provision of food/potable water, and debris clearance/removal to assist in their internal planning efforts.

Kapolei Local Emergency Action Network (KLEAN) After Action Report/Improvement Plan (AAR/IP) KLEAN TTX 2018

10 Kapolei Local Emergency Action Network Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP)

Analysis: The availability of critical resources is expected to be limited during the initial response and recovery phases following a major hurricane or other large- scale disaster. Some exercise participants identified the continuity of their operations as essential to the State’s overall recovery efforts and requested additional information on the allocation and prioritization of certain resources – including fuel, electricity, temporary power, potable water, and debris removal. For example, one participant stated, “Who gets it first? Who determines distribution priorities?”

Participants were informed of the detailed planning that takes place at the local, state and federal level with other stakeholders on an on-going basis to address these types of issues. For example, within the Hawaii Catastrophic Hurricane Plan, one of the eight primary objectives involves the delivery of fuel to support essential services: “Objective 4: Deliver Fuel to Support Essential Services outlines a strategy for facilitating the provision of fuel to essential services and defines the roles and responsibilities of coordinating and cooperating agencies following a catastrophic hurricane.”17 Under Emergency Support Function (ESF #12), the State Energy Office under the Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT) is responsible for coordinating the 74 tasks identified within the plan to support that objective.

Participants also identified other areas of concern such as the need for additional security to protect critical resources and prevent the looting of high value items such as mobile generators. While another area of concern was how to provide information on unmet needs to local, state and federal agencies especially if primary communications were unavailable after a catastrophic disaster.

Kapolei Local Emergency Action Network (KLEAN) After Action Report/Improvement Plan (AAR/IP)

Recommendations

3.1.1 Local, state and federal organizations should continue to provide capability briefings during KLEAN meetings to raise awareness of their plans and procedures (especially critical resource prioritization planning efforts), as well as capabilities and limitations to support response and recovery efforts in the Kapolei community.

3.1.2 Organizations within the Kapolei community should take advantage of opportunities to participate in exercises such as the annual state- wide hurricane exercise (Makani Pahili).
